Marine Veteran Quits Smoking to Save His Heart On June 21, 2017, while most Californians were celebrating the beginning of

summer, things weren’t looking so bright for Marine Veteran Troy Goodspeed of

Hacienda Heights. Troy was experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath–

signs of a heart attack. A smoker since he was 11-years-old, he also had a history

of diabetes, glaucoma, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

(COPD). Considering his medical history and symptoms, he and his wife decided

to drive to the PIH Health Hospital - Whittier Emergency Department (ED).

The emergency room physician ordered tests and confirmed Troy was indeed

in heart failure. The staff sent him to the catheterization laboratory (cath lab), an

examination room in the hospital with special diagnostic imaging equipment that

doctors use to clearly look at the arteries and chambers of the heart. While there,

Q. Are heart disease and stroke related?

A. Yes. According to the American Heart Association

and the American Stroke Association, individuals

with coronary heart disease, angina, or who have

had a heart attack due to atherosclerosis (also called

“hardening of the arteries”), have more than twice the

risk of stroke than those who haven’t. That’s because

if you have atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries,

you’re very likely to have atherosclerosis in other

parts of your body.

Heart disease and stroke share many of the same

risk factors, such as: high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol

levels, low HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels, high

blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, physical inactivity,

and being overweight or obese. On the other hand,

leading a healthy lifestyle that includes regular

exercise, nutritious meals, no smoking, and control

over high blood pressure and diabetes, will lower

risks for both heart disease and stroke.

Nimish Patel MD, discovered triple-vessel coronary artery

disease and a left ventricular aneurysm. Unfortunately, the

severity of his condition combined with his medical history left

Troy with a five percent chance of survival.

However, Eduardo Tovar MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon

at PIH Health, performed a successful coronary artery bypass

grafting surgery and repaired the left ventricular aneurysm.

Troy was then transferred to the Critical Care Center (CCC)

at the hospital.

“Being in the CCC was almost a pleasure if I wasn’t so sick,”

Troy joked. With his military background, he was impressed

with the organizational skills of the PIH Health staff. He was

discharged on July 3.

“PIH Health Hospital - Whittier is extremely efficient,” he said. “I don’t dread coming to this hospital at all—not like other hospitals.” It’s a good thing he felt that way, because he was about to get another opportunity for admission.

Troy was doing well at home until exactly one month later.

On August 3, he was back at the ED complaining of

left arm and chest wall numbness. He told his wife he thought

he might be having a stroke and insisted he go back to

PIH Health Hospital - Whittier. A computerized tomography (CT)

scan revealed a small, subacute stroke and he was admitted

again. After receiving treatment for that condition, Troy was

discharged on August 5 and since then, he has given up

smoking and attends outpatient cardiac rehabilitation therapy

three times a week.

Troy and his wife made the right decision to come to

PIH Health Hospital - Whittier, which has been awarded The

Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American

Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check

mark for Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke

Centers. In 2017, Watson Health chose PIH Health Hospital -

Whittier as one of the Top 50 cardiovascular health programs in

the county. With these certifications and honors, PIH Health is

in an elite group of healthcare organizations focused on highly-

specialized heart and stroke care. With the right treatment,

therapy and change of habits, Troy finally got the summer break

and the retirement he deserves.

Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby

Grateful Patient Thanks PIH Health for Successful Delivery and Life-Saving SurgeryWelcoming a newborn baby is a joyous event—but every delivery is as unique as the babies themselves. Just ask Laura Noguchi, who relied on the expertise and responsiveness of PIH Health to help bring her third child safely into the world and immediately address an unforeseen complication.

After safely delivering two children, Laura thought she knew what to expect with baby number three. But life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs. With this baby, she was considered a high-risk pregnancy with signs of premature labor. Sure enough, with the due date still four weeks away, Laura started having contractions—and woke up not feeling

well. She went to PIH Health Hospital - Whittier and was admitted that day. Shortly after admission, her baby girl was born naturally, much to Laura’s delight.

But then things changed. After the birth, Laura felt dizzy and passed out, barely remembering conversations between the doctor and nurses in the delivery room.

Laura was experiencing postpartum hemorrhage—excessive bleeding following the birth of a baby—a rare condition affecting only about four percent of women. The average amount of blood loss after a vaginal delivery of a single baby is about 0.5 liter (or half a quart), but Laura lost much more than that.

“Laura had lost two liters of blood within the first few minutes and eventually lost seven liters in total,” explained Sara Soto MD, Obstetrics/Gynecology. “She needed to have an immediate transfusion. In addition, after the birth of her baby, Laura’s placenta was stuck to her uterus so we had to perform an emergency hysterectomy to remove both. Fortunately, PIH Health Hospital - Whittier has a ‘Code OB’ hemorrhage protocol in place, and everyone is trained and experienced in responding rapidly.”

After the Code OB was announced, the hospital’s blood bank immediately prepared 42 units of blood products (a combination of red blood cells, platelets, plasma and cryo) and delivered it within minutes. Meanwhile, Laura was rushed from the delivery room to the operating room in the same wing, where Dr. Soto performed the emergency surgery and Laura was given life-saving transfusions.

“I couldn’t be happier with my stay at PIH Health Hospital - Whittier,” said Laura. “The hysterectomy was unexpected, but the experience was great. The nurses took excellent care of my baby, and even brought her to me in the Critical Care Unit the first night. They were all so nice and really treated me like family. It almost felt like I was being taken care of at home. I was especially grateful they allowed my daughter to stay at the hospital until we were both ready to go home, together, five days later.”

Q. I just turned 50 and need to get screened for colon cancer. Is there something easier than a colonoscopy?

A. While there are multiple options for colorectal cancer screening besides a colonoscopy, none are as effective for preventing colon cancer. One is a Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), a non-invasive test that detects small amounts of hidden blood in your stool. The test is relatively inexpensive; painless and safe, you simply collect a sample at home and ship directly to the lab.

However, while this test may sound like a more pleasant option, there are some drawbacks. The FIT test can only detect cancer if it’s already present. A colonoscopy, on the other hand, enables the doctor to view the rectum and the entire colon, and remove pre-cancerous polyps and other abnormal tissue during the test, if necessary. Therefore, a colonoscopy is the only screening method that can actually prevent colon cancer. The question becomes: Do you want to get screened to simply find cancer or to prevent cancer?

Because colon cancer is so prevalent (one in 20 people will get it in their lifetimes), we encourage you to get a colonoscopy. It could save your life, as well as time, money and a lot of stress. And a wide variety of preparation options are available—ask your doctor which is right for you.

Schedule your colonoscopy today by calling 562.967.2656 or visit PIHHealth.org/Colonoscopy.

Not Once, But Twice

Two-Time Liver Cancer Patient is in Recovery Thanks to State-of-the-Art Treatments

Randy Bernard, 77, never felt any symptoms of liver cancer

when it first struck in 2012. In fact, the first and only clue

came from a routine blood test, which showed an elevated

tumor marker. After an MRI and biopsy, Randy’s doctors

confirmed he had liver cancer—a single tumor in his left lobe.

Fortunately, Yong Park MD, an interventional radiologist at

PIH Health Hospital - Whittier, knew just what to do. Dr. Park

performed localized cancer treatment called radio frequency

ablation. During the procedure, a thin, needle-like probe was

temporarily inserted into the tumor through a tiny incision

in the skin, using Computerized Tomography (CT) scan or

ultrasound guidance. The probe then releases high-energy

radio waves to heat and destroy cancerous cells. The

treatment was a success, and the tumor never returned.

Q. What is a deviated septum, and how do I know if I should go see a doctor?

A. A deviated septum occurs when the nasal septum (the bone and cartilage that divide your nose’s nasal cavity in half) is displaced to one side (or “deviated”). This makes the nasal septum off center, or crooked, making one or both nasal passages smaller. Some people are born with a deviated septum. Others develop the condition after injury or trauma to the nose.

When a deviated septum is severe, it can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow, and also make breathing difficult. Another common symptom is nasal congestion (usually one side is more congested than the other). Recurrent sinus infections can also be a result of a deviated septum. Other symptoms may include: nosebleeds, facial pain, headache, postnasal drip or sleep apnea. Sometimes symptoms can be relieved with medications; but if medicine alone doesn’t offer adequate relief, a surgical procedure called septoplasty may be needed to repair a crooked septum and improve breathing. See your doctor if you experience:• Obstruction of one or both nostrils• Frequent nosebleeds• Recurring sinus infections

To schedule an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, also known as otolaryngologist, call 562.789.5456. For information about conditions treated, including deviated septum, visit PIHHealth.org/ENT.

Randy’s team of doctors continued to follow his health, doing

annual imaging studies to make sure no cancer returned. All

was fine until 2016, when Randy’s liver cancer came back

aggressively—but not in the same place. This time, there were

about 20 different cancerous tumors in his right liver lobe.

Unfortunately, there were too many spots for surgery, and

traditional chemotherapy is not effective for liver cancer. Randy

needed an alternative solution.

Once again, PIH Health offered the expertise Randy needed.

Dr. Park suggested radioembolization—a minimally invasive

treatment option that recently became available at PIH Health.

In fact, Randy was one of the first patients to have this state-

of-the-art treatment at PIH Health Hospital - Whittier, which

combines radiation therapy with embolization (a treatment in

which blood vessels are blocked off to prevent blood flow).

Here’s how it works: Tiny glass beads filled with the radioactive

Y90 are placed inside the blood vessels that feed a tumor. This

blocks the supply of blood to the cancer cells and delivers a

high dose of ionizing radiation to the tumor to kill cancer cells

and shrink tumors, while sparing normal tissue.

“This treatment only targets those cells that are cancerous,

and it’s been found to be highly effective in certain cancers—

especially liver cancer,” explained Dr. Park. “In Randy’s case,

we treated his entire right lobe and he responded very well. This

treatment completely eliminated all of his tumor spots—they are

totally gone.”

PIH Health is one of an elite few hospitals in Southern California

to offer this sophisticated treatment, joining centers like City of

Hope, UCLA, USC, UC Irvine and Cedars-Sinai.

“Randy is a shining example of how his entire medical team put

their heads together—including his oncologist, his interventional

radiologist and his primary care physician—to provide excellent,

academic-center-level care that holds up to any medical standard

in the U.S. and the world,” said Dr. Park. “We’re very proud of our

ability to offer this level of service here at PIH Health.”

Today, Randy is enjoying his life and the fact that he’s cancer-

free. Instead of worrying about his health, he’s back to doing

what he loves—spending time with his family and watching his

two grandchildren grow and discover the world. Most of all, this

grateful patient appreciates all the excellent care he received

from his team at PIH Health, which helped him beat liver

cancer—not once, but twice.

Please Complete Our Patient Satisfaction Survey

PIH Health’s mission is to serve you with the very best patient and family-centered care. You’re the reason we’re here, and we want to know what you think. After visits, questionnaires are mailed to patients at random from PIH Health Hospital - Downey and PIH Health Hospital - Whittier so that you can share feedback about your experiences. You may also receive a phone survey from your physician’s office

following an office visit. Please let us know how we are doing by completing and returning the questionnaire or by participating in the phone survey.

“We know your time is valuable, and we truly appreciate you sharing your responses with us—successes and areas for improvement,” said PIH Health President and Chief Executive Officer Jim West. “Your support and observations help us enhance your overall healthcare experiences.”

Riding a bicycle can be great. It gets you outside in the fresh air while providing the same cardiovascular benefits you get from other forms of aerobic exercise, like walking or running. It’s easy on the joints and helps prevent cartilage damage, which may make it good for someone suffering from foot problems, knee troubles or other impact-related injuries.

However, it can be dangerous too, especially in California. According to findings published in the Governors Highway Safety Association report in 2014, bicycle deaths accounted for about two percent of motor vehicle deaths nationwide but over four percent in California. And the number is going up. Between 2010 and 2012, U.S. bicyclist deaths increased by 16 percent.

The best thing you can do to stay safe when riding your bike is to wear a helmet. According to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, 85 percent of cyclists’ head injuries could be prevented if the rider wears a Consumer Product Safety Commission certified helmet. Not only is wearing a bicycle helmet a smart thing to do, for some it’s also the law.

What you may not know is that California has a bicycle helmet law that requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle on a street, bike way or public bicycle path or trail, even if you’re a passenger. That includes children who are sitting

in a restraining seat or being towed behind the bike in a trailer.

Even though the law targets bicycle riding specifically, it also applies to scooters, inline skates and skateboards.

In order to follow the law, you have to be sure that your bicycle helmet meets the legal standard. That means it should have a prominent label from the manufacturer, which says that the helmet meets the necessary safety standards of either the American National Standards Institute; the Snell Memorial Foundation’s Standard for Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling or the American Society for Testing Materials. Since it’s illegal to sell a helmet in California that doesn’t meet at least one of these legal standards, you should be fine as long as you bought your helmet in California.

When shopping for a helmet, it’s also important to make sure it fits properly. That means it sits low on your head and should comfortably touch your head all the way around. It should stay in place when you shake your head, and it should cover most of your forehead. If the helmet slides back off your forehead, it’s not going to provide the protection you need. The best way to get a proper fit is to have an expert at the bicycle shop or sporting goods store help you.

“Cycling is great for all ages,” said Mehwish Khan MD. “Everyone can benefit from riding a bike, from children to the elderly. For the elderly, it is a great non-weight bearing exercise for the knees.”

Golfing for a Great Cause

24th Annual Frank Scott Pro/Am Golf Tournament Raises $250,000 for Hospice Care

It was another packed golf course for the 24th Annual Frank

Scott Pro/Am Golf Tournament. Enthusiastic golfers joined

together at Friendly Hills Country Club in Whittier to have fun

and raise money for an important cause. On September 25,

2017, community members and loyal supporters joined

PIH Health Foundation to raise $250,000 to benefit PIH Health

Hospice care. The event pushed us closer towards our goal

of raising $1 million to enhance our hospice program.

Participants spent a beautiful day engaging in a friendly

golf competition and putting the “fun” in fundraising. When

the tournament ended, the party began at the club house.

Participants joined their guests on the outdoor patio where

they mixed and mingled, enjoying an evening of live jazz

music, delicious themed food stations; wine and beer pairings

and a silent and live auction.

At PIH Health, end-of-life care is extremely important.

Our hospice services improve the quality of life for patients

enduring serious life-limiting illnesses and provide comforting

support for their families.

“Funds raised during the golf tournament will help PIH Health

Hospice program upgrade it’s serene and calm surroundings,

continue crucial supportive services and ensure patients and

their families find peace,” said Annette Atwood and Ruth Kikuchi,

event co-chairs. “We were excited to co-chair the tournament

that raised financial support for such a valuable cause.”

A Gift That Gives Back

Specifically, the funds will help PIH Health redesign and update

our Hospice Homes so they will be more comfortable for our

patients in their end-of-life stages. PIH Health plans to create

private rooms in our Rose House so that families can have a

private space with their loved ones. The redesign will also move

nursing stations closer to patient rooms to provide enhanced

care. To create a beautiful and peaceful environment, PIH Health

will update the kitchen and bathrooms, install new furniture

and refresh the paint and décor. All of this will help PIH Health

provide greater care in a tranquil and serene space.

“I was filled with gratitude for the overwhelming generosity

demonstrated at the golf tournament!” said Shelly Necke RN

MSN MSHCA, vice president of post-acute care services at

PIH Health. “We had an amazing turnout and support for our

Hospice program. The generous contributions will help us

continue to provide excellent end-of-life care for our community.”

It was Mickey Mantle who famously said, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.” While most senior citizens today take much better care of their health than “the Mick,” we often hear them speak about another concern that comes with longer life expectancies—outliving their retirement funds.

A Charitable Gift Annuity could be just the solution. It provides a secure fixed income and may reduce income taxes depending on individual circumstances, and offers you the opportunity to support the work of PIH Health in a way that fits into your estate planning goals.

Here’s how it works. In exchange for cash or low-income producing investments, PIH Health Foundation will pay you a guaranteed income. As an added bonus, a portion of the income you receive is tax free. The amount you are paid is determined by your age at the time the gift annuity is established and remains fixed.

Listed below are sample payout rates.

80 6.5% 78 80 – 90 5.6%

With today’s interest rates, a Charitable Gift Annuity could be a smart financial decision. However, it’s about a lot more than just a secure income; it’s about the good feeling that goes with knowing you helped provide exceptional healthcare in your community.

Avid Soccer Player Finds Healing Through Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

For a die-hard soccer player and avid snowboarder, few

things could be worse than a knee injury that keeps you on

the sidelines. Fortunately, 31-year-old Anthony Zuliani found

advanced orthopedics and sports medicine care close to

home at PIH Health.

While Anthony doesn’t play soccer professionally, he’s

extremely good—and highly competitive. He started playing

at age eight, and continued into adulthood, often joining city

soccer leagues. During his five years in the United States Air

Force, he even played in the military travel league—

competing against soccer teams from the United Kingdom

and Thailand. After his military service, Anthony moved back

to Orange County, where he continued his love of the sport.

During one game in 2015, Anthony suffered a partial tear of

his left Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), which keeps the

knee stable. The ACL is one of the knee ligaments that joins

the upper leg bone with the lower leg bone. After the injury,

he consulted with one doctor, and then reached out to Kyle

Low MD, at PIH Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine for

a second opinion.

Bouncing Back from a Knee Injury

Score One at a PIH Health Urgent Care Center (UCC)

Whether your child favors soccer, football, baseball or track, playing sports is a great way for young people to learn teamwork, have fun and stay in shape. That’s why more than 38 million American children and teenagers play at least one extracurricular sport—either at school or as part of a community league.

Yet whatever the sport, there’s always the risk of getting hurt. Injury prevention starts with a sports physical—well before the season begins. It’s often a legal requirement, too. Some states won’t let young athletes start a season without first having a sports physical. Unlike an annual wellness check-up, which evaluates your child’s general health, growth and vaccinations, a sports physical will make sure your child’s body is in shape and healthy enough to safely participate in their sport of choice.

“We review the family’s medical history and look for any diseases or injuries that might make it unsafe for the child to play, or that might limit the amount of activity the teen can handle—things like heart conditions, breathing problems or joint problems,” said Roberto Madrid MD, a family medicine physician and PIH Health Physicians VP Medical Operations. “We can also talk about proper nutrition and how to monitor for overuse injuries.”

If your child needs a sports physical, PIH Health makes it convenient. Simply visit any PIH Health Urgent Care Center location in Hacienda Heights, Santa Fe Springs or Whittier. No appointment is necessary and wait times are often just 20 minutes. For more information, visit PIHHealth.org/UCC.

Does My Child Need a Sports Physical?

Dr. Low’s extensive education prepared him to help – he earned

his medical degree at Harvard Medical School and completed

his orthopedic surgery residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He

went on to obtain further specialization in sports medicine with

a fellowship at the University of Missouri School Of Medicine

in Kansas City, where he worked with the Kansas City Chiefs

football team. He also has a foot and ankle fellowship from

Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. This training made

him a highly qualified resource.

Dr. Low agreed that surgery was a good choice, but also

gave Anthony the option to rehab it himself. Because it was

only a partial tear, the injury might heal on its own with proper

rehabilitation and physical therapy. Anthony chose not to have

surgery, and focused on physical therapy instead. The ACL

eventually healed, enabling Anthony to resume soccer. But in

2016, Anthony suffered another injury—this time, a completely

torn ACL.

“I reconnected with Dr. Low, who ordered a new MRI,” said

Anthony. “The results were pretty conclusive. This time, the

injury would not heal without surgery. I proceeded with ACL

reconstruction surgery in July 2016 at PIH Health Hospital -

Whittier, which was definitely the right decision.”

During the outpatient surgery, Dr. Low used modern, cutting-

edge procedures to reconstruct Anthony’s ACL.

“I used a minimally invasive ‘all inside’ technique,” explained Dr.

Low. “Because this procedure uses smaller incisions, it allows

for less post-operative pain and faster overall recovery. We

always strive to return patients to their previous level of function

after injuries—and Anthony did great. He received physical

therapy for eight weeks at our PIH Health La Mirada location,

and is doing very well.”

Today, Anthony is proud to report that he has no knee instability

and is not limited in any way. “Between full-time work and school,

I have not returned to playing soccer just yet, but I’m looking

forward to getting back on the slopes and snowboarding,”

he said.

Dedicated to Serving People— Even Off the Clock

PIH Health Physicians and Nurses Find Joy in Helping Others

PIH Health doctors and nurses chose a career in healthcare because they love helping people—and practicing medicine. Considering the level of commitment it takes to succeed in the healthcare field, it’s no surprise to learn that many PIH Health professionals also use their skills to serve people in their free time—outside their PIH Health responsibilities—as volunteers. According to Chester Cheng OD, “I look forward to volunteering because I love helping and serving the community. Not only do I provide eye screenings to low-income seniors but I also get to practice speaking Mandarin.”

Here are just a few of the PIH Health professionals who give their time and talents to help people in need:

• Rosemary Castillo NP, Family Medicine: Provides camp/sports physicals for the Boy Scouts of America during the summer.

• Chester Cheng OD, Optometry: Volunteers annually to provide eye health screening at the Taiwanese Lions Club of Rosemead.

• Deep Dudeja MD, Ophthalmology: Volunteers for an international medical mission one week every year along with local eye camps providing glaucoma screening.

range of programs to children and families in the Whittier community that focuses on prevention, early intervention treatment and recovery for people suffering from mental health issues, domestic violence, child abuse, and substance abuse.

• Rachael Moore MD, Dermatology: Serves as a volunteer

clinical instructor at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs

• Sy Oang DO, Internal Medicine: Volunteers one week every

California in Buena Park.

• Kennith Thompson MD, Cancer Committee Chairman and

Co-Medical Director of the PIH Health Hospital - Whittier

Breast Cancer Program: Serves with a surgical team that

• Lisa Yang MD, Ophthalmology: Provides annual eye health

screenings at the Taiwanese Lions Club in Rosemead.

“Whether serving people in our community or underserved

populations overseas, PIH Health providers are living out their

passion and mission to serve people in need,” said Senior Vice

President, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Strategy Officer

at PIH Health Rosalio Lopez MD MBA.

Get Social!

Many people use social media to stay in touch with

friends and family around the world, but do you know

just how many are using it? According to the Pew

Research Center*, 79 percent of adults who go online

log into Facebook. Other popular social media sites

are Instagram and Twitter.

More Americans than ever are using social media

platforms to get their news. A recent study** showed

that in 2017, two-thirds of U.S. adults get their news

from social media. And people over the age of 50 are

often looking for healthcare content.

As part of our mission of “Patients First,” PIH Health

constantly provides our patients and community with

the information they need to get and stay healthy.

Health Action Lab: A Coordinated Effort to Improve Local Health

Last year, thanks to a grant from the California Community Foundation (CCF), PIH Health was able to take community collaboration to the next level. PIH Health, in partnership with the Center for Non-profit Management, Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center and Los Angeles (LA) County Department of Public Health, brought 62 non-profit agencies from across LA County’s Service Planning Area (SPA) 7 (southeast cities) together, with a shared goal of improving community health and addressing important identified health needs.

Over the following months, through honest discussion, research and a focus on possibilities, the non-profit agencies formed into four coalitions with a common purpose, thus forming the group now known as the Health Action Lab. During monthly meetings, these coalitions developed their vision statements and action plans—then they got to work.

“The Health Action Lab has supported the LA County Department of Public Health’s Community Health Improvement Plan by educating community partners and stakeholders about the issues and strategies that are important for our Service Planning Area. It has created a forum for community based organizations and partners to collaborate and respond to issues impacting those we serve.” - Lindsey Lastra, health program analyst, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health

A Community Collaborative at Work

The 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment

conducted by PIH Health revealed that Downey area

communities have the highest rates from diabetes

and heart disease, as well as incidence of obesity,

higher than Los Angeles County rates.

Studies show that many chronic diseases are largely

preventable by addressing poor nutrition, physical

inactivity, tobacco use and obesity. To help reverse

these trends, PIH Health sought new ways to become

an active partner in the Downey community.

PIH Health found just the right initiative to support—

Stay Healthy Downey—a community collaborative led

by the City of Downey that focuses on creating

a sustainable approach to health and wellness that

will positively impact current and future generations.

PIH Health is one of 25 community partners

supporting this cause, along with the Downey

Unified School District, Downey Family YMCA, Kaiser

Today, Stay Healthy Downey hosts a wide range

of community-focused initiatives—from soda-free

campaigns and the promotion of smoke-free

environments, to more active living and healthy food

choices at schools.

“Looking into the future of Stay Healthy Downey, I

envision the collaboration between the City of Downey

and PIH Health will only get stronger, as we look at

ways to collectively prevent chronic disease, increase

physical activity, promote better nutrition, and overall

become a healthier city,” says City of Downey Director

Health Action Lab: A Coordinated Effort to Improve Local Health

Mental Health and Substance Use

This coalition discovered a need for training of case/care managers. To address this need, they held an “Effective Case Management Symposium” on October 24, 2017, attracting nearly 160 participants representing mental health, substance use, healthcare and homeless provider organizations.

“The inspiring and knowledgeable speakers made for an amazing day of learning, sharing, validation and empowerment,” said Executive Director of Helpline Youth Counseling Jeff Farber. “We hope that this is the first of many opportunities to build the skills, capacity, knowledge and resources of our community partners to improve the mental health and well-being of people in SPA 7.”

In 2018, the coalition plans to continue building capacity of case managers as well as develop a plan for policy/advocacy work in the area of mental health and substance use.

Food Insecurity

To address the shortage of CalFresh (California’s food stamp program that assists low-income households in purchasing adequate healthy food) enrollment sites in Southeast LA County, this coalition decided to add three new locations in the service area: Interfaith Food Center, Kingdom Causes and Caring Connections/Bellflower Unified School District. This effort will increase awareness and improve access to CalFresh benefits. The coalition has also developed strategies to promote farmers markets which accept CalFresh vouchers, as well as free summer lunch program locations, administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Opportunities for Youth

This coalition began a large asset-mapping project, which will create a comprehensive list of all local after-school programs, mentoring opportunities and youth resources. By consolidating these resources into one place, the team hopes to identify gaps to drive future coalition goals, increase services, and ultimately, access to these important resources. In addition, the coalition has spearheaded the creation of a PIH Health Community Health Improvement Fellowship with Whittier College to support Health Action Lab coalitions.

Chronic Disease Prevention and Management

This coalition is starting a pilot “Health Hub” program. The Health Hub will provide educational resources, such as grocery store tours, nutrition and exercise classes, and connection to vital services such as CalFresh enrollment, food and mental health resources and more in the City of Downey. Services will be offered by various organizations—all of whom will benefit from a coordinated calendar and promotion efforts. The coalition will also support policy work related to health and wellness.
